nav dropdrown menu states

I am attempting my first drop down menu using HTML and CSS (open to using jQuery if I can get it to work) and am having an issue with the drop down states. I am using images for the main navigation (my client wants a specific font used) and those images are duplicating themselves in the drop down. I need to know if i need to adjust certain selectors or create a new class and define specs in there. You can view an example at http://rjmccollam.com/test/blank.html. If code or anything else is needed let me know. Thanks for your help.

Tips

What now? I have some ideas for you.

Go explore CodePen!

As a front end designer and developer, you should have an account on CodePen so you can save your snippets, present your ideas, and engage with other front end folk. I'd encourage you to go PRO as well, to unlock the full power of CodePen.
